help Sonoff ZBBridge Pro FAQ
Can the Sonoff ZBBridge Pro work with Home Assistant without eWeLink cloud?
Yes, but the usual route is to flash Tasmota and connect the bridge to Home Assistant through MQTT or Zigbee2MQTT. The bridge uses Zigbee 3.0 and Wi-Fi, while the exact setup depends on the firmware. [Sonoff specifications](https://sonoff.tech/en-nl/products/sonoff-zigbee-bridge-pro)
How many Zigbee devices can the Sonoff ZBBridge Pro support?
Sonoff lists support for up to 128 Zigbee sub-devices on the ZBBridge-P. That is a capacity figure, not a guarantee that every device will perform equally well, because range, interference, and powered Zigbee routers affect the network.
Can the Sonoff ZBBridge Pro connect to Zigbee devices from other brands?
It is a Zigbee 3.0 coordinator, so compatible devices from other brands can work with it. Check the specific sensor or switch model first, because eWeLink and custom firmware may support different features.
What changes when Tasmota is flashed onto the Sonoff ZBBridge Pro?
Tasmota replaces the stock eWeLink-focused firmware with local control options and can expose the bridge to Home Assistant over MQTT. The ZBBridge Pro combines an ESP32 with a CC2652P Zigbee chip, so the flashing method and template must match that hardware. [Tasmota Zigbee documentation](https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Zigbee/)
